  • Examples Of Public Shaming

    1029 Words  | 3 Pages

    As an individual, it is a part of life to make plenty of mistakes, but is public shaming the answer to solving it? “A vital art of growing and developing as a human being, is learning from ones’ mistakes. Although this is expected, many today resorted to public shaming which is morally wrong. In todays’ society, punishment for people is completely different from back in the Puritan days. For example, in the novel the Scarlett Letter, Hester Prynne commits adultery, which leads her to having to wear the letter “A” on her chest, which is a form of public humiliation but in this sense, it’s not right. This is Hester Prynne’s sin that she committed that she lives with forever and it shouldn’t be any of the public business

  • Summary Of Brene Brown's The Gifts Of Imperfection And Daring Greatly

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    Shame is like a dark shadow that follows us around, making us second guess what we are about to do, and always something we refuse to talk about. As Brown puts it, shame “derives its power from being unspeakable.” If we recognize our shame and speak about it, it’s like shining a flashlight on it; it dies. This is why vulnerability and shame go hand in hand. We must embrace our vulnerability in order to talk about shame, and once we talk about shame and release ourselves from its bonds, we can fully feel vulnerable and use that vulnerability to find courage and dare greatly. In order to reach this level of wholeheartedness, we must “mind the gap,” as Brown says, between where we are and where we want to end up. We must be conscious of our practiced values and the space between those and our aspirational values, what Brown calls the “disengagement divide.” We have to keep our aspirations achievable, or disengagement is inevitable. Minding this gap is quite a daring strategy, and one that requires us to embrace our own vulnerability as well as cultivate shame resilience. Accomplishing our goals is not impossible if we simply cultivate the courage to dare to take action. We can’t let this culture of “never enough” get in our way, and we have to use our vulnerability and shame resilience to take that step over the

    Shame is one of the biggest feelings that individuals with eating disorders have. They place shame on themselves and their bodies. When others are to make this worse, the result is very difficult to handle. Take for example an individual with Bulimia Nervosa who is disgusted with their own body. It is hard for this person to accept that they need help. Eventually, the individual decides to admit themselves to the hospital. When the individual returns to school, others are placing shaming for the way they look and how much smaller they are. How is this individual supposed to react to this? They were already ashamed with themselves and then someone had to point out what they were thinking. Mary Duffy and Kristen Henkel, members of the department of psychology at University of Saint Joseph, “reductions in shame have been associated with better outcomes in eating disorder treatment” (162) When individuals with eating disorders are treated to reduce the shame that they are feeling, it will be easier for them to change their

    Harvest Of Shame, an interesting and touching black and white documentary from the early 1960’s, documents and exposes the deploring lives of thousands of American migrant cultural workers narrated and dissected by one of the best and first American broadcast journalists called Edward Roscoe Murrow. The principal objective of this movie is not only to show the poor and miserable lives that all of these people live, but to let all the other Americans who are above these workers on the social and wealth scale know that the people who pick up their fruits, vegetables, and grains have no voice, no power, and no help to battle the inequities and mistreatment they receive.

  • Essay On Empathic Embarrassment

    1237 Words  | 3 Pages

    Goffman, as one of the first scholars to study embarrassment, defined it as the “uncomfortable state of mortification, awkwardness, and chagrin that can result whenever undesired events publicly threaten one’s social identity” (1956). Although people try to avoid embarrassment all together, when they do experience it, they feel obligated to repair their social image (Miller, 1987). Therefore, embarrassment can have a significant impact on social interaction, and it transcends societal lines, and becomes a global phenomenon (Miller, 1987). Empathic embarrassment is embarrassment experienced with another individual, even though the other individual’s actions do not reflect upon the observer’s social self (Miller, 1987). In order to gain a proper understanding of empathic embarrassment, one must be able to distinguish between empathy and sympathy. When an individual performs an embarrassing act, observers may either feel sympathy or empathy (Gruen & Mendelsohn, 1986). Sympathy refers to feelings of pity toward the embarrassing actor, while empathy suggests that the observer feels embarrassed as a result of the actor’s predicament (Gruen & Mendelsohn, 1986). This distinction is important to determine whether or not the empathic embarrassment or embarrassment by association is actually taking place.

    Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter offers the reader an inside look at public shaming as a punishment. Throughout the book, Hester Prynne’s punishment requires her to wear a scarlet “A” on her bosom because she committed adultery and ultimately got caught. Similar to Hester Prynne and her community, judges today sentence criminals to public shaming as a reprimand for committing crimes. However, public shaming is unfair and should not be used in the United States court system.

  • The Eating Guilt

    “Innocence is the weakest defense. Innocence has a single voice that can only say over and over again, “I didn’t do it.” Guilt has a thousand voices, all of them lie.”(Leonard F. Peltier). We all have innocence and bad in us. For most, the guilt of doing bad keeps us from it, but for some, the evil in us takes control. William Golding displays how guilt and innocence are lost when laws are not enforced, and there are no longer consequences. In the tragic novel, Lord of the Flies, Golding displays the length human’s will go to when savagery takes over.
